"The network intrusion prevention system market continues to mature and evolve at a rapid pace as the network IPS market for stand-alone appliances continues to grow, from more than $700 million in 2006 to nearly $1 billion in 2007," said Greg Young, Research VP, Gartner.  In 2006, there was a consistent average of $50,000 per gigabits per second (Gbps) of deep inspection. In 2007, there was considerable price variance. Enterprises should weight price as a factor in product selections.

What about the forecast by Andy Rolfe that "End-user spending on stand-alone systems will grow at a CAGR of 12% between 2008 and 2013, exhibiting some immunity to the economic recession compared to other network equipment segments. However, growth will slow after 2010?"
